Amolops monticola is a species of frog found in Asia. The species range includes the northeastern parts of India, Nepal and the province of Xizang, China. The primary habitat is temperate forests and wetlands, especially shaded stream rapids, at elevations of 850–2,350m. This frog lays eggs in stone crevices along the edges of streams, and on aquatic plants.^[1] It is currently on the IUCN's list of threatened species, although the concern is low due to the wide distribution.^[2]
